ABSTRACT
The paper presents the pharmacological profi le of the analgesic activity of 3 derivatives of γ-butyrolactone (GBL), marked with the symbols: LMOR, LHEL and L8. In view of the available data indicating potent antinociceptive activity of some GBL, analgesic activity of these compounds was investigated in a few screening models, namely the hot plate, writhing and capsaicin tests. Moreover, spontaneous locomotor activity, local anesthetic activity in modifi ed tail immersion test and acute toxicity were also evaluated. The results of the experiments confirm antinociceptive activity in a vast range of rodent models of pain, especially pain induced by thermal (the hot plate and modified tail immersion tests) or chemical (phenylbenzoquinone but not capsaicin) stimuli.
